Notes About The Poem

For Kim Rodrigues contest.

Common Poets

Hmm, so what do we have in common 
There's you, and there is me 
You're a woman and I'm a man 
So, we both think differently
 
Our ages could be similar 
But I'm going to lay it on the line 
I don't know how many years you've lived 
But I've lived almost fifty nine 

We both like writing poetry 
So, in that way we're the same 
But our styles of writing differ much 
In our own poetry worlds of fame
 
Hmm, so what do we have in common 
I know, we were both born here on earth 
We are two friends on Poetry Soup 
That's all, for what's it's worth
